I wasn't going to put this up at first, but it's a completely different tune than the one he was singing at the end of February. "The thing that I am most guilty of is choosing (the) wrong woman," Lampley said. Oh really?

SAN DIEGO, March 6 /PRNewswire/ -- The following isbeing released today from the Law Office ofPatricia A. Gregory:

On behalf of James Lampley his attorney has authorizedthe release of the following apology to Candice Sanders:

It is with considerable regret and deep embarrassmentthat I acknowledge having overreacted to a householddispute with Candice Sanders on New Year's Eve. As aresult of my anger, our dispute has become a matter ofpublic discussion and speculation and I acceptresponsibility for that. To bring closure to thisprocess, I am offering my full and unconditionalapology to Miss Sanders and her family, as well as toall my friends, family and professional colleagues whohave been unwarrantedly damaged by the events of thatnight. Miss Sanders feels very deeply and sincerely,as do I, about the rights of women and children. Shewill be a powerful symbol on their behalf, and I willthoroughly support and encourage her organized effortsin this regard. At the same time, I would encourageall to look favorably on Candice's efforts andcontribute wholeheartedly to the advancement ofthis cause.

An interesting change of tone over the past few weeks. I'm sure this is entirely spin since it was submitted to a PR Firm. The apology must be part of this "tough" sentence from Superior Court Judge Laura Parsky.......

Superior Court Judge Laura Parsky also fined Lampley $674 and ordered him to do 40 hours of volunteer work. Lampley will not face charges for the alleged attack. The district attorney's office reviewed Sanders' allegations of domestic violence and found "insufficient evidence to prove it."

Just to let you know, PR Newswire isn't a PR firm. The PR stands for press release. They accept press releases from companies (and PR firms) and then send them out. PR firms are often their clients, but they most assuredly aren't a PR firm. The release is from Lampley's lawyers who (whether by agreement or thinking it would make him look better), sent it to PR Newswire to distribute to the national media.
